fxAPI_Dens15C_1952
Density (T, P) <--> Density (15°C, equilibrium pressure)
This function converts a density value at the observed temperature and pressure to the density at 15°C
and the equilibrium pressure (typically 0 barg) or vice versa.
The temperature conversion is according to ASTM-IP Petroleum Measurements Tables 1952 (Also
known as API-1952 tables) Table 54.
Note: this function is a combination of the API 1952 Tables and API 11.2.1M. For the calculation from
observed to standard conditions an iterative calculation is required. The rounding and truncating of
input and intermediate values is implemented such that the example calculations as specified in both
standards are exactly reproduced.
